But upon careful consideration, this idea was obviously too simplistic.
At this mont, Kairos stared at those two cold records on the system panel, his brain working at high speed.
Though the specific content of the questions wtwo posed had been filtered by the system, being familiar with the original plot, he naturally knew clearly what wtwo was asking - most likely "Who am I?"
This situation was remarkably similar to the plot of that movie called "wtwo Strikes Back" from his mory.
This artificial Pokémon born in Team Rocket's laboratory, possessing near-godlike power, was precisely because of the enormous confusion and anger about the origin and aning of its own existence that it ultimately led to the crisis in the movie that almost overturned the world.
It escaped Team Rocket's control, did a series of outrageous things, even trying to create a world with only Pokémon.
In the end, it was only Ash's life-risking intervention that finally allowed wtwo to find so answers, abandon its original plans, and embark anew on a journey to find itself...
However, this process was obviously quite painful and complex. In Kairos's view, none of this was actually necessary.
And if such events happened in the real world, Kairos wasn't even sure which would be more terrifying - wtwo remaining under Team Rocket's control, or wtwo staging a live-action version of "wtwo Strikes Back"...
So his role as a psychological counselor, using gas through the invitation card to guide wtwo in advance, seed quite necessary.
"So its biggest core problem right now must be figuring out who it is..."
Kairos muttered to himself softly, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the desk.
If he could directly provide the answer, perhaps he could prevent it from walking down that path filled with pain and danger...
But this thought was imdiately dismissed by Kairos himself.
Tell it directly?
This idea was obviously too naive.
wtwo was currently soaking in Team Rocket's cultivation tank, still in its just-born stage. Every "human" it had encountered viewed it as nothing but a tool and weapon.
At this ti, if a voice appearing out of nowhere in its mind claid to know everything about it, if it were Kairos, he definitely wouldn't believe it either.
Let alone the naturally highly intelligent and suspicious wtwo.
Such behavior would absolutely be judged by its suspicious and keen thinking as Team Rocket's more sophisticated manipulation or trap... then subsequent communication would be quite difficult.
So it definitely couldn't be him speaking directly...
While pondering, Kairos's gaze turned again to that floating system interface.
But gas... weren't they the best communication bridge?
An excellent ga could convey the creator's voice to players, and his Erald was the sa.
Once this thought erged, a more feasible plan instantly ford in his mind.
Since he couldn't directly reveal his identity, why not disguise himself as custor service for this ga system?
He could even go more extre and directly be wtwo's companion player in the ga world!
After all, although Team Rocket had instilled so basic information into wtwo about understanding this world, the complex content in Erald would definitely be sowhat beyond its scope.
Next, he only needed to carefully design so ga content for it through Erald, subtly conveying clues and taphors about its identity, letting wtwo use its own powerful intelligence to think and discover the truth.
This way, the answer wtwo obtained would truly belong to it and could truly be accepted by it.
Only then could it know who it really was and what the aning of its existence was.
Kairos didn't know what wtwo would think after playing through everything, but it would undoubtedly be much better than leaving wtwo alone.
Now only one question remained.
Could the system invitation card allow him to establish ga-related communication with wtwo like custor service without exposing his true identity?
Actually, Kairos was sowhat anxious about this question, since all plans had to be built on this premise.
And just now, according to the system, he wasn't even allowed to obtain wtwo's situation and images through the invitation card... he didn't know if this would work...
However, the system's answer quickly gave him a shot in the arm and let him breathe a sigh of relief.
[Yes, host, of course you can.]
The system's response was very clear.
[When using the invitation card, the host can edit push ssage templates and carry out limited text and specific data package pushes.
All feedback will be filtered through the system, and any information containing real coordinates or administrator identity will be automatically blocked. This functions the sa as the previous information confidentiality chanism.]
Getting a positive reply, Kairos felt reassured. Now he had the idea, and the invitation card was indeed feasible, but the specific execution would definitely require careful planning.
He quickly cald down and began his own thinking.
wtwo's IQ was among the top tier whether among humans or Pokémon, and this was true even in its newborn state. So every step he took next needed careful planning.
Even pretending to be a simple chanical custor service, he couldn't rush to throw out the answer directly. That would not only seem suspicious but could backfire and make wtwo suspicious of him.
So, just as he had thought, he needed to use his advantage as a ga creator to package the answer before sending it.
Kairos took a deep breath, started his computer, and opened the ga developnt backend.
Now it was ti to add so content exclusive to wtwo to the ga. After all, this should have been content that players could experience anyway...
Soon Kairos successfully used his experience and the system's enhancent to create an ancient legend about "w" and a CG animation with ambiguous aning called "Gene Dream."
To summarize, this CG depicted in quite abstract ways the origin of Pokémon and life, w's freedom and magic, and the potential and loneliness contained in so new life "created" based on "origin."
This CG provided wtwo with keywords like "w," "genes," "creation," and "inheritance," which could help it better answer that question while not explicitly ntioning "wtwo" itself, but using w to represent it.
After all, strictly speaking, w was also a Pokémon directly created by Arceus, different from other Pokémon, with no companions or parents - there was only one unique w in the world.
What this CG aid to do wasn't directly send information, but open a window for wtwo to let it see so scenery that would attract it.
After preparations were complete, Kairos directly used the invitation card function to link with wtwo again and began his plan.
...
Monts later.
On a solitary island in the ocean depths.
Inside Team Rocket's secret research facility.
wtwo soaked in the nutrient solution, purple pupils reflecting the cold gleam of external instrunts, thinking about sothing.
In his mind, that nail-like [Begin playing?] prompt sounded again accompanied by background noise.
It prepared to ignore this incomprehensible harassnt again with irritation, and due to its powerful adaptability, it had even begun to get sowhat used to it.
However, at the next mont, sothing changed abruptly!
A completely different stream of information forcibly flooded into its mind without warning!
This ti what appeared wasn't the previous cold chanical text and sound, but dynamic images!
It saw a vast jungle with sunlight streaming through leaf gaps, casting spots of light.
On an ancient stone wall deep in the jungle, in blurry murals, a pink Pokémon with an elegant form, agile long tail, and eyes sparkling with wisdom and pink radiance suddenly appeared before the mural.
It blinked its eyes, and after brief confusion, suddenly showed a smile.
This Pokémon instantly disappeared from its spot, then directly appeared in the nearby forest, joyfully darting and playing.
The pink Pokémon's tail traced through the air, leaving bright trails like stardust.
Not only that, Pokémon after Pokémon began appearing beside it, and this pink Pokémon's appearance actually began rapidly changing, occasionally becoming identical to the Pokémon around it!
At the sa ti, ethereal and ancient chants seed to transcend ti and space, accompanied by poetic parables telling the content.
"Source of life," "beginning of all things"...
"Dreams carried in genes" and "infinite possibilities given form"...
Seeing this, wtwo's mind and consciousness shook violently!
This thod of information transmission completely exceeded its comprehension. The powerful psychic energy within it instinctively tried to resist this sudden invasion.
But the indescribable resonance contained in those fragnts, as if originating from deep within its bloodline, attracted its recently born consciousness like a magnet.
It felt the freedom and power represented by the pink Pokémon in the images. Although words like "genes," "creation," and "inheritance" couldn't make it completely understand,
intuition told it that these words, these images, were all related to the biggest mystery in its heart!
Especially that pink figure made it involuntarily feel a strange stirring.
Like irritation, disgust.
Yet also like carrying powerful attraction, drawing its instincts and heart.
The next instant, before wtwo could react, all images suddenly disappeared.
What remained for wtwo was only a hazy and ethereal feeling.
And that [Begin playing?] text.
But it was precisely this feeling that made it experience an unprecedented curiosity about the unknown...
This was also the first ti it had felt an emotion other than wariness toward this voice that had always been regarded as hallucination and harassnt.
It didn't choose the "Yes" option, but no longer tried to drive away that interface.
wtwo began using its powerful brain capacity to repeatedly replay and analyze that brief experiential fragnt in its consciousness, trying to find hidden answers from every image, every detail.
...
anwhile, Kairos was tensely watching the system interface.
The status that originally showed [Waiting for target unit response] suddenly changed, updating to [Target unit is deeply analyzing pushed content!]
Imdiately after, a new notification popped up:
[Ding! Congratulations host, you have gained trace emotion energy conversion points from special unit "wtwo". Emotion types: confusion, curiosity, surprise. Total points: 300!]
Seeing this notification, Kairos's eyebrows imdiately raised.
Was this success?
Though it was minimal feedback, it was actually a huge breakthrough when facing wtwo.
At least this proved Kairos's strategic direction was correct - wtwo had not only received the information but truly begun thinking.
But to achieve his goal, this was obviously far from enough.
Kairos suppressed the urge to imdiately follow up with more information and quietly waited for a while.
In his previous life, one of his favorite entertainnt activities was fishing. Fishing required patience, and now was the sa.
"Fishing" for such a wary and intelligent big fish like wtwo couldn't be rushed.
After quietly waiting several minutes, Kairos finally made his next move.
He operated the interface, edited guidance information that matched ga prompts, and sent it through the invitation card:
[Promotional content adapted to player has been sent. Currently only 10% of content has been distributed. To obtain deeper information and more complete content, please experience the complete ga storyline and choose to begin playing.]
Kairos deliberately set up a threshold, linking deeper information with the proactive action of playing the ga.
This both followed normal logic without seeming abrupt and could increase wtwo's willingness to actively play the ga.
This would make it feel like it was choosing to explore everything rather than passively accepting the ga's indoctrination.
...
anwhile, in the cultivation tank, wtwo sensed this new guidance ssage.
"Deeper information... complete ga storyline..."
It already understood the aning of these word combinations.
The shock brought by that segnt about the pink Pokémon and the strong feeling lingering in its heart made it develop an unprecedented desire for the "deeper information" ntioned in the text.
This desire was almost overwhelming its wariness about everything before it.
So, what could this be?
Was this a test by those called Team Rocket, its creators?
Or was it an elaborate trap designed for it?
Its thinking operated at high speed, engaging in fierce internal conflict.
Finally, the thirst for knowledge about the ultimate question "Who am I?" gained overwhelming victory.
Its newborn heart, full of power yet with nowhere to direct it, truly needed a direction to move forward, truly needed a puzzle piece to fill the gap.
wtwo finally made its decision.
With a trace of remaining caution and irrepressible curiosity, wtwo carefully used its powerful psychic power to touch that option that had continuously harassed it since its awakening but was now incredibly attractive—
[Yes].
